HEY DUDE,,,I'M UP FOR BOTW YIPPIECOME BY AND DROP ME SOME LOVE,,HEE HEE IT'S YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE VOTE VOTE...

Hey Affi!Caymus here! Haven't squawked at you in a while...how have you been? It’s a nice sunshiny day here. Today mom gives me a bath with the spray bottle and then I get to wipe my face on her shirt, shake the water from my feathers onto her face, and soak up the rays while I dry off. Mom says I smell like a wet dog whenever I get a bath, and my skin-sis says I smell like a french fry. (???) Very odd humans! Leaving big hugs and a vote!

HAPPY EARTH DAY FROM CAYMUSHappy Earth Day, Affi! Today is the day to celebrate our plant, do something positive to make it a better place, and to pass on that message to our future generations. Mom and I want to take this time to thank you for reading my “Green Ideas.” You know what the best part was? We have realized that all the BC parronts out there are the largest group of green-minded folks around! I mean, I send out an idea and I get tons of responses back that your flock is already doing these things! Now, I know there are a lot of really good people out there with an appreciation for nature and the will power to save our plant. But for everybirdy here to all have that same ideal? My theory is that us birdies have a special influence on our humans. That when they look in our eyes, they see compassion. When they see us fly, they know our hearts. And when they feel our feathers against their skin, they know that the trust we give them comes from a spirit within us all. I’m so honored to be a part of this BC family, and so my final “green idea of the day” is to BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER…WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Hello from the Konawa Oklahoma GangHi Friends, Cotton Ball here, We are getting aroung late today. Mom and Dad are home and I am playing in my new bathtub and mirror. Ellie and I are having fun. We stayed up late last night celebrating with Mom. Patrick helped her make his avitar this morning. He started playing the Coughing Game and Mom didn't notice so he coughed LOUD in her ear. When she said, "Poor sick baby, what a cough" Patrick yelled,"A cough drop would make it better." LOL Patrick told me he didn't know why Mom was shocked...she always says that to him when they play the game... hehe ... Well Fortune just wants to go on another trip.. he is still yelling bye bye and squawking at Mom today.. silly bird loves to travel. HERE IS A .....tiny kiss on your beak...the LIMERICK OF THE DAY IS POSTED ON PATRICK'S PAGE. Lonnie & Linda and Slate & Mica are chirping up a storm.. well we will Vote for you and fly on Cya, Cotton Ball PS Fortune has the team roster updated on on his page.......LET's PLAY BASE BALL

Caymus here...It’s a quiet day today…just hanging out listening to some Jimmy Buffet (hey, I’m a Florida bird…what do you expect?) and pulling apart what little remains of the toy daddy bought for me on Sunday. Mom should be home by the time I’m finish with that, and then it’s toy rotation time! (CAYMUS’ "GREEN IDEA OF THE DAY": If every American switched to receiving just one bill as an electronic statement instead of a paper one, the one-time savings would be 217,800,000 sheets—enough to completely blanket the island of Key West in a single layer of paper. 5 more days until Earth Day!)

Hi from Fuzzy, Boo, and LillySaying hi to all of our friends and pecking at the vote thingy. Fuzzy is singing on his play gym, Boo and Lilly are just as silly as can be~hiding under the blankets on the bed. Fuzzy thinks they might be planning a great big suprise. Splash you later my friends.

HolaThis Sunday my mama’s family came to have lunch to our house….. I enjoy all the attention of my cousin he is really nice and fun, but for some reason I don’t like my grandma and my aunt. Specially if they are in my house they both make my fathers go up and I get all exited to protect my house. The funny thing is that when I am in my auntie’s house I still don’t like her but I am not as mean with her …… Jajajajaja well since is her house I need to be a bit polite right…. Ok that was my story Oh here are some bird kisses and hogs for ya... Oh my mama and i will live a Vote for you my friend.

Hello friends finally my mama had some time to help me write to you all. I want to share a little story with all of you! Let me tell you that on Sunday I made her cry. It was dark and papa, mama and me went outside to the car and the car alarm went off. It was really loud so I got scared and flew away from mama. I just keep flaying in the open street it was fun to use my wins but at the same time it was very scary. Mama though that she wouldn’t see me again since I am not used to fly out side my house. Finally when mama got me back her fist reaction was to cry….. Oh That was something. Ok have to fly mama is about to fall sleep in the couch and I love to do that with her so see ya my friends Here is a big V for all of ya

Hello from St. Patrick D'BirdHi Friends, Patrick here. I hope you are well and having fun. I don't mean to burden you, BUT, I have a problem. I need your advice and encouragement. My heart has been stolen. The thief is a beautiful red head named Ruby. I see her in my dreams....until I almost scream. .............Our love is the theme of my LIMERICK OF THE DAY: ..................Star crossed lovers our romance is flawed........ ..............Still her beauty my heart doth applaud...... ......................... I may never meet,........ ............. ............. ...................... My love, “Oh so sweet.”...... ............. ............. ............. ................. In California, I am outlawed....

Until we meet..Patrick MUAH,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Friend here is a vote and LOBH (Lots of birdie hugs) for you.

Hello From Bowdon Jct.We are just checking in. We haven’t been on line in a few days. Jazz has settled in nicely and thinks she owns the house. Bongo is jealous when Mama holds her and calls her a good bird when she does something good. Mama heard him call her a bad bird when she was in the other room the other day. He said (Jazz you are a bad bird) Mama couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She has to make him feel special more so he won’t feel abandoned. Rosey is getting more at home and let everyone know when she is lonely or jealous when someone even tries talking to another bird. Niah is just as sweet and quiet as always. Mama got her oldest daughter a new bird. (A peach faced lovebird) Jessica fell in love and doesn’t want to be separated from it. We thing it is a girl and Jessica named it Misa. Maybe Jessica will join BC and make a page for her. Well We hope all is well and we will check in later. Here is a vote for you

‘Twas the Night Before Easter – By Caymus & Peachy‘Twas the night before Easter, on a warm Florida night**And Caymus was snuggled in his hut out of sight.**Peachy was snoring, the cats on the couch,**Mom and dad in the bedroom; all was quiet in the house.**And while the Conure was dreaming about hard-boiled eggs**(Which he was soon to consume and get all over his head),**In the sky flew a birdy not many have seen**He was yellow and blue and orange and green.**He had all of the colors that we’ve come to know**When we look up in the sky and see a rainbow.**Purples and pinks, some teal and blue**And gold was his tail, leaving streaks where he flew.**Now we have heard stories about bunnies and such**Who leave hidden treasures from his basket’s clutch.**There are chocolate eggs from Cadbury and jelly beans galore;**There are sugary treats, Peeps, bubble gum, and more.**But high in the sky, flying over the trees,**Above all the rooftops and smooth like the breeze,**Came a birdy so beautiful no one could deny,**Delivering delights to all his friends who can fly.**He had a gray beak, and a little round belly,**And his favorite treat was raspberry jelly!**As he landed upon one particular home**He looked down in the windows to see if any lights were on.**Now there was no movement or sound from inside this space,**So down the air vent he went (because in Florida you don’t need a fireplace).**Now Caymus the Conure was on high alert this night**And said, “Squawk, who’s there? You gave me a fright!”**“Don’t fret now, my friend…I mean you no harm.**But I’ve just flown in for the birdy nut farm.**I’ve got peanuts, pistachios and cashews, all unsalted.**Walnuts and sunflower seeds, too,” then he took a deep breath and halted.**Caymus said, “So who are you then, and why are you here?”**And the stranger responded, “haven’t I made that quite clear?**I have come to bid you happy Easter wishes**To you and your flock, even the mice and the fishes.**Thank you so much for letting me stop by,**But I’ve got to move on and to the next house I must fly.”**And like that he was gone before Caymus could blink**And that Dusky was left saying, “I just saw the Easter Birdy, I think!”**So the story now goes at this special time in the Spring,**If you turn your head late at night and think you see a wing,**If you find extra treats inside of your cage,**You’ll know the Easter Birdy is real, and could even visit your BirdChannel page!**

Hi from Max (the WonderBird)!Hey Affi, thanks for visiting. I'm happy today that the sun is shining and that hopefully the lake will stop rising (from all the rain we had) before it reaches my cage! Getting a bath that way would be horrible! Come see me again soon...Cya...
